Built from durable steel and designed to support a maximum weight of 150kg, it provides convenient extra height for reaching cupboards, shelves, storage areas and work surfaces where a full-size ladder is not required. The wide platform features a grooved anti-slip surface, while rubberised feet help improve grip and protect hard floors from scratches. Safety spring-button locks help keep the folding step securely open during use, offering dependable support for cleaning, decorating, organising and light DIY tasks. When open, the stool measures approximately 38 x 26.5 x 18cm, with a practical 18cm platform height. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for kitchens, bedrooms, garages, workshops, gardens, caravans and motorhomes. Once folded, it measures just 38 x 26.5 x 3cm, allowing it to store neatly inside cupboards, drawers, wardrobes, utility rooms or other narrow spaces. Lightweight and portable, the stool can be carried easily between rooms or taken on trips. Its versatile design also makes it suitable as a caravan step, folding foot stool, small folding stool, stepping stool or compact kitchen step.
The Futura Folding Step Stool is an ideal utility tool for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and travelers looking for a compact, durable way to reach high surfaces. Designed for versatility, this stool offers a sturdy 150kg weight capacity and a foldable design that tucks away into narrow spaces, making it perfect for kitchens, garages, and caravans. While it provides excellent stability for light tasks, users should note that its low platform height is intended for short-range boosts rather than high-reach ceiling work.
